Heroic Dog Saves Soldiers in Afghanistan

Heroic Dog Saves Soldiers in Afghanistan

Dog to be reunited with soldier he saved from suicide bomber.

Rufus (shown here) saved a group of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan by startling a suicide bomber who was targeting their combat outpost in the
middle of the night. In February, Rufus and two other strays living near the toops, started barking when they heard an intruder approach the sleeping
soldiers. Rufus grabbed the bomber's leg while the other two alerted the troops. Surprised and compromised, the terrorist detonated the bomb too
early, killing himself but only injuring a few U.S. soldiers. One of the dogs was killed in the blast and the two others were seriously injured but
nursed back to health. Later this week, Rufus will be reunited in Atlanta with Chris Duke, one of the soldiers he saved, the New York Post reported.

Bless these heroic dogs. Surely there should be humanitarian campaigns to adopt these strays off the streets of Afghanistan. Obviously, these selfless
acts by man's best friends tell me that bombers are no good and their acts of violence should stop right now.
